Ink Publishing announced today it will be producing the new inflight magazine for recently merged
SN Brussels Airlines and Virgin Express. The first issue of this new and exciting magazine will be
available onboard the enlarged airline from 1 December, 2006. The title of the publication is topsecret
and will be announced shortly.
Sarah Gregory, Publisher at Ink Publishing, stated: “This magazine will provide an incredible
opportunity to advertisers as this is the first time they will be able to communicate to such a
massive, captive audience flying in and out of Belgium. They will also be able to reach substantial
numbers of passengers from the surrounding countries, from connecting traffic, and from the
Airline’s unique destinations. The magazine will be read by an affluent demographic of frequent
travellers who are looking for entertainment and information about their destination while
onboard.”
Gregory continued, “For short-haul destinations, advertisers will be able to reach this highly
desirable demographic by advertising in the upcoming publication and for longer-haul destinations
they will still be able to connect to this group by advertising in Spirit of SN.”
Geert Sciot, Vice-President of Communication for SN Brussels Airlines, stated: “We are thrilled Ink
will be producing our exciting new inflight magazine. As Ink currently produces our outstanding
Spirit of SN and RedHot for Virgin Express, we know they have the experience and ambition to
produce another world-class publication.”
Chloe Greenbank, Editor at Ink Publishing, said: “The magazine will provide a read that’s as
accessible to executive business travellers as it is to those travelling on a budget or for leisure
through insightful, practical advice and eye-catching design. Every issue will combine destinationled
features focusing on the airline’s extensive European network, with high-profile interviews and
business news as well as the latest in fashion, tourism, entertainment, motorsports and beauty.
The magazine will be a tri-lingual publication with all features appearing in English, French and
Dutch.”
Soon SN Brussels Airlines, the leading full service airline, and Virgin Express, the leading low fare
airline, will merge into one company. It is the start of a whole new dimension of air travel
combining the best of both airlines.
